Olef was roaring with laughter, and so was Ebenezer.
All of the customers looked at Olef with peculiar expressions on their faces. Some of the customers who were more familiar with Amy turned to look at the old man sitting outside the magic potion shop. These demons really were digging a grave for themselves.
“Is it really that funny?”
A coarse voice that seemed to have originated from the depths of an infernal hell sounded nearby. A bone-chilling aura that was even colder than the wind blowing from the glaciers of the Anglo Alps proliferated through the air.
“Of course! Don’t you find it hilarious, old man?” Ebenezer was on the brink of tears from laughter as he turned to the hunched Urien.“Master Urien is here!” All of the customers’ eyes lit up, and they all heaved a collective sigh of relief. Seeing as he was here, Blour and Sally were saved. At the same time, they turned to Olef and Ebenezer with a hint of sympathy in their eyes. Insulting Amy’s master in the face of Urien was the very definition of a bad idea.
Blour raised his head to look at Urien. He had always known the identity of the old man who always stood at the front of the savory faction line, but he was still struck by a sense of awe and veneration when seeing such a legendary magic caster reveal his power. At the same time, he, too, heaved a sigh of relief.
Sally looked at Amy, and her heart was filled with warmth. Amy was the first person to step up in her time of peril, and Urien had only appeared because of her.
Olef’s smile instantly stiffened. He could sense the plummeting air temperature and powerful magic aura swirling toward him, and he turned to face Urien with wide, fearful eyes. He then bowed his head in a respectful manner, and said, “I didn’t expect to see you here, Master Urien. These people have killed brothers of mine, and I’m only here to avenge them. If my actions have disturbed you in any way, I can only ask for your forgiveness.”
“U-Urien!” Ebenezer’s eyes immediately widened with shock and horror. A series of terrifying legends began to surface in his mind. Regardless of whether it was the genocide of the ogre race or the legendary demons that had died by Urien’s hands, all of them served as a reminder of his terrifying power.
“I don’t think it’s funny at all.” Urien shook his head. A burst of icy blue energy shot forth like lightning from beneath his feet, making its way toward Ebenezer before instantly falling upon him.
Ebenezer’s massive body was immediately frozen solid, with an expression of shock and horror still lingering on his face. He then crumbled into blocks of ice before shattering into countless tiny frosty shards.Olef’s expression changed drastically at the sight of the pile of icy shards that Ebenezer had been reduced to. His eyes were filled with shock and horror as he recalled the news that he had received from the demon race, which stated that Urien was in Chaos City and it was best to avoid him at all costs. Who would have thought that he would be unlucky enough to encounter him? Despite those harrowing thoughts running through his mind, Olef still forced himself to calm down as he said, “That bastard deserved to die for showing disrespect to you, Master Urien! Please forgive us…”
“Little Amy, are you alright?” Urien completely ignored Olef, and made his way toward Amy with a gentle expression.
“I’m fine, Master Urien.” Amy was initially a little disappointed that her spell had been completely ineffective against the enemy, but her eyes lit up again at the sight of Urien freezing Ebenezer solid. She pointed Olef with elation, and said, “But he said you and Master Krassu are sissies! He said my weak spells can’t hurt him; is that true?”
M-Master! And Krassu as well?! Olef stared at Amy with incredulity in his eyes. He suddenly recalled a letter that he had received from his brethren, warning him against messing with the disciple of Urien and Krassu. A restaurant had also been mentioned in the letter, but he had brushed off that detail, regarding it as trivial. However, thinking back to it now, it appeared that the restaurant mentioned was none other than this Mamy Restaurant!
A chill ran down Olef’s spine as he thought back to what he had said. He could already envision himself suffering the same fate as Ebenezer. It would clearly be impossible to escape from Urien. As for resisting? That would be the best way to die even more quickly.
“I think sissy is a good term to describe Krassu.” Urien chuckled, but as he turned to Olef, his smile grew colder, and he said, “However, the magic you learned is not weak. It should have no problems taking care of a fat little pig like him. Now then, try the Ice Soul Lotus spell that I taught you today on
him.”
Urien raised his hand in Olef’s direction, upon which the black shield in his grasp suddenly crashed to the ground as if it were an infinitely heavy object. It was then entirely covered in ice and frost.
“Master Urien, I bear no ill will toward you or your disciple. This is all a misunderstanding. Us abyss demons have always revered you. Chief Warsy is my uncle; please do him a favor and spare my pitiful life.” Olef didn’t attempt to pick up his fallen shield. Instead, he was pleading for his life with a desperate expression full of horror. He was filled with remorse over the fact that he had plunged himself into such a perilous situation just for an elderly piggie.
“If I were you, I’d be contemplating how to survive the ‘weak’ attack that’s going to be directed at you next.” Urien appraised Olef with a cold expression.
“Alright!” Amy nodded with a serious expression as she turned to Olef. She pointed her staff toward the demon, and began to chant a spell that she was not very familiar with yet.
Dazzling silver light began to converge toward the purple and golden ball on the tip of her staff. Purple and golden light also began to wreak havoc within the oracle stone, creating a brilliant spectacle.
Olef was still looking at Urien with a wary expression, and didn’t pay much attention to Amy. A spell unleashed by a 4th-tier magic caster was something that he could defend himself from with ease even with his bare hands. After all, Urien had only prevented him from using his black shield, but had not sealed away any of his power.
The surrounding bystanders were of the same opinion. The fact that four-year-old Amy was capable of unleashing an intermediate spell was already enough to shock the entire Norland Continent. However, it was clearly still quite unrealistic to expect her to bring down an 8th-tier Olef.
“Ice Soul Lotus, sweep away all impurities, go!” Amy chanted as she waved the staff in her hand toward Olef. A glittering and translucent ice lotus flower then emerged from within the dazzling silver light. It suddenly disappeared before reappearing right in front of Olef.
